ST. AUGUSTINE. 




( )RTIFICATION and defense were the first thought 
of the Spanish soldiers who founded St. .Augustine; 
and for three centuries the most sig'nificant feature 
of the town, which greeted the eye of the traveler as 
he entered the harbor, was the forbidding and por- 
tentous mass of Fort San Marco, set here to chal- 
lenge a])proach from sea. To-day, as the train 
emerges from the pines and palmettos, our first 
glimpse is of the towers of the great hotels, significant of welcome and hospitality. 
St. Augustine has become a fashionable winter resort, whose spacious hotels 
dominate the aspect of the surroundings, and in their luxury and magnificence 
have no equals in the world ; it is the winter Newport, whose visitors are numbered 
bv tens of thousands, whose private residences are distinguished for elegance and 
comfort, "^^ear bv year the city grows more beautiful, and with each innovation 
and transformation adds to its attractiveness. The old has been supplanted by 
the new, vet the town preserves a distinctive character all its own, and there is 
now more than ever befcjre about the old city an indefinable charm which leads 
one's thoughts back to it again and gladdens the face that is once more turned 
toward Florida and St. Augustine. 

The distances here are not great. Fort Marion and the Gateway on the north, 
the sea-wall on the water front, the Plaza in the center, with its Cathedral, the 
narrow streets, and the Barracks on the south — these are the features of the old 
town in which we shall be interested, and all lie within the limit of a mile. The 
principal streets run north and south ; the cross streets at right angles, east and 
west. The main thoroughfare, St. George street, extends through the center of 
the town to the City Gate ; from that point it is known as San Marco avenue.

Treasury street, crossing St. 
George one block north of the 
Plaza, narrows at the east end 
to an alley, across which two 
persons may clasp hands. King 
street extends west from the 
Plaza to the St. Sebastian 
River. The narrow little 
streets, with their foreign 
names and foreign faces, their 
overhanging balconies and 
high garden walls, through 
whose open doors one caught 
glimpses of orange and fig and 
waving banana, were once 
among the quaint (diaracteris- 
tics which made the old Flor- 
ida town charming and pecu- 
liar among all American cities. 
Rut the picturesque streets, of 
which tourists delighted to 
write, have almost ceased to be 
a pleasing feature of .St. Augus- 
tine. Some have been wi- 
dened ; and others, shorn of 
their quaintness, are ill adapt- 
ed to the swelling traffic. 

A portion of the native pop- 
ulation, distinguished by dark 
eyes and dark complexions, is 
composed of MrxoRCAxs. In 
1769. during the British occu- 
pation, a colony of Minorcans 
and Alajorcans from the Ba- 
learic Islands, in the Mediter- 
ranean Sea. were brought to 
New Smyrna, on the Indian 
River, south of St. .Vugustine. 
by an Engiisli planter named 
Turnbull. They were de-

defended against the claims 
of Turnbull, received an al- 
lotment of land in the town, 
built palmetto-thatched cot- 
tages, and remained here after 
the English emigrated. 

The Fort, the Gateway and 
the old houses are built of 
coouiNA (Spanish, signifying 
shellfish), a native rock found 
on Anastasia Island. It is 
composed of shells and shell 
fragments of great variety of 
form, color and size. Ages 
ago these were washed up in 
enormous quantities by the 
waves, just as masses of sim- 
ilar material are left now on 
the beach, where one may 
walk for miles through the 
loose fragments which under 
favorable conditions would 
in time form coquina stone. 
Cut olT from the sea, the de- 
posits are in time partially

cemented together. 

The material of which the 
new hotels are built is a com- 
position of sand, Portland 
cement and shells. A wall is 
constructed of successive lay- 
ers of concrete ; as each layer 
hardens a new one is poured 
in on top of it. When com- 
pleted, the wall is one stone ; 
indeed, the entire wall con- 
struction of a concrete build- 
ing is one solid mass through- 
out — a monolith, with neither 
joint nor seam. The plastic

The Memorial Presby- 
terian Church, erected in 
1889 by Mr. H. M. Flagler, 
is an elaborate structure, in 
the style of the A'enetian 
Renaissance, and in wealth 
of exterior decoration sur- 
passes any other building in 
St. Augustine. 

Ancient landmarks are 
disappearing, but the pillars 
of the City Gateway re- 
main as notable monuments 
of the past. Inconsequen- 
tial as the towers now ap- 
pear, there was a time when 
they stood out bravely 
enough, and in their se- 
curity St. Augustine rejoiced. In those days they looked out upon a v.-ilderness ; 
the belated traveler hurried on to their shelter ; and the town slept securely when 
the Barrier Gate Avas fast shut against the midnight approach of a foe from with- 
out. Stoutly their walls gave their strength when it was needed, and defended for 
the King of Spain his garrison town in Florida. They have witnessed many a 
narrow escape and manv a gallant rescue. More than once have they trembled 
with the shock of assault, and more than once drive'n back the foe repulsed. To- 
day, dismantled and useless, out of keeping with the customs of the day and the 
spirit of the age, long since left behind by the outstretching town, the picturescjue 
old ruins linger as cherished landmarks. Here we are on historic ground. 

The gateway is the only conspicuous relic of the elaborate system of fortifica- 
tions which once defended St. Augustine. The town being on a narrow peninsula 
running south, an enemy could approach by land only from the north. Across 
this northern boundary, east and west, from water to water, ran lines of fortifica- 
tion, which effectually barred approach. Froiu the fort a deep ditch extended 
to the St. Sebastian ; and was defended by a high parapet, with redoubts and bat- 
teries. The ditch was flooded at hich tide. Fntrance to the town was by a draw-

sentry boxes. Just within the gate was a guard house, with a detachment of 
troops. When the sunset gun was fired, the bridge was raised, the gate was 
barred, and the guards took their stations. When once the gate was closed, the

HOTEL CORDOVA — CORDOVA CORNER. 



The Plaza is a pleasing bit of greensward in the center of the town. It is a 
public park of shrubbery and shade trees, with monuments and fountains, an 
antiquated market place inviting one to loiter, and an outlook to the east over the 
bay and Anastasia Island to the sails of ships at sea. The open structure on the 
east end of the Plaza is conuuonly pointed out as the "old slave pen," or "slave

MARKET," and it is sometimes alleged to have been of Spanish origin. It never 
was used as a "slave pen," nor as a "slave market," nor had the Spaniards any- 
thing to do with it, for they had left the country twenty years before it was built. 
The market was built in 1840, for the sale of meat and other food supplies, and it 
was devoted to that use. 

It was not until the influx of curiosity-seeking tourists, after the Civil War, that 
anv one thought oi dul)bing the Plaza market a "slave market." The name was

invented by a photograjiher in order to sell his photographs. The "slave market," 
"Huguenot Cemetery" and "oldest house" yarns have been told so often to 
credulous visitors that there are now some residents of St. Augustine who actually 
almost believe the stories themselves ; but the facts are that St. Augustine never 
had a slave market nor a Huguenot cemetery, and that no one knows 
which house is the oldest. 

The park takes the name of Plaza de la Constitucion from the monument 
erected here by the Si)aniar(ls in 1S13 to commemorate the adoption of a liberal

Extending from Fort IMarion south along the water front to the United States 
barracks stands a sea-wall of coquina capped with New England granite. It 
afifords a necessary protection against the encroachment of the sea; the site of 
St. Augustine is so low that under certain conditions of wind and tide the waves 
would inundate nmch of the town. Tn heavy east storms the water dashes over 
the top of the wall. The need of such a barrier against the sea was recognized at 
an early time. There is a touch of the humorous side of history in the spectacle 
of Spain, having chosen this bit of Idorida soil for a town, building first a fort 
to defend it from invaders, and then a wall to protect it from the inroads of the 
sea. The present wall was built by the United States, in 1835-42, as a complement 
to the repairs of Fort Marion, at an expense of $100,000. The length is ^ mile, 
the height 10 feet. 

Complementing the battlements and watch-towers of Fort Clarion on the 
north, the St. Francis Barracks stand out conspicuously at the south end of the 
sea-wall facing the Mantanzas. They take the name from the Franciscan Convent, 
whose former site they occupy. The old building has been greatly modified by the

their lives in the Seminole War. The memorial shaft is connnonlv spoken of as

THE OLD I'IKEPLACE IN THE VEUDEK MUSEUM. 



The scope of the influence of tlic St. Augustine Institute of Science and 
Historical vSociety has Ixen greatly enlarged liy the purchase of the well-known 
Vedder Collection in Natural History. This collection, to which the late Dr. 
A'edder had devoted many years of his life, covers very completely the natural 
history of Florida. And now that this has been added to the Geological Arche- 
ological, Mineralogical and Historical Collection, the Society has a solid founda- 
tion that will eventually develop into a collection of the greatest value to both 
the man of science and the historian as well. It is the only attempt of the kind 
made anvwhere in the State of Florida, and as such deserves the most hearty 
support Ijoth from the citizens of Florida and from those who seek the State 
and citv for health and pleasure. The fact that the ^Museum is in an old historic 
house that has never been reinodeled gives an added attraction to the sightseer 
and antic|uarian. Our illustration shows one of the Museum rooms containing 
the old fireplace just as it has been used for so many years. As one of the coquina 
houses of a type that is rapidly disappearing, the building itself is worth visiting. 
The Museum is on Bay street at the corner of Treasury street, one block north 
from the Plaza.

FORT MARIOX IJKIKIXG TOWARD THE SEA. 

Fort Marion is at the north end of the sea-wall and commands the harbor. 
It is open daily (admission free) from 8 A. :\I. to 4 P. M. Afternoon is the most 
pleasant time for seeing the fort. The sergeant in charge conducts visitors 
through the casemates, and repeats by rote a farrago of fantastic rubbish which is 
not to be taken too seriously. Most of what he relates is of his own invention. 
The fort, which is the only example of mediaeval fortification on this continent, is a 
fine specimen of the art of military engineering as developed at the time of its 
construction. It is a massive structure of coquina stone, with curtains, bastions, 
moat and outworks. 

Surrounding the fort on the three land sides is an immense artificial hill of earth, called the 
glacis. From the crest of the glacis on the southeast, a bridge, formerly a drawbridge, leads 
across part of the moat to the barbacan. The barbacan is a fortification, surrounded by the 
moat, directly in front of the fort entrance, which it was designed to protect. In the barbacan 
at the stairway are the Arms of Spain. A second bridge, originally a drawbridge, leads from 
the barbacan across the wide moat to the ^ally-port, which is the only entrance to the fort. 
This was provided wiih a heavy door, called the portcullis. On the outer wall, above the 
sally-port, is the escutcheon, bearing the Arms of Spain; and the Spanish legend, which read:

"Don Ferdinand VI., being King of Spain, and the Field Marshal Don Alonzo Fernando Hereda being 
Governor and Captain-General of this place, San Augustin of Florida, and its province, this fort was finished 
in the year 1756. The works were directed by the Captain-Engineer Don Pedro de Brozas of Garay." 



ST. AUGUSTINE.

Within the fort on the right of the entrance hall is the old bake room, and beyond this 
are two dark chambers, which were used for storage. On the left is the guards' room. The 
hall opens upon a large square court (103 by 109 feei). Around this court are casemates 
or rooms which were used for barracks, messroonis, storerooms, etc. Some of the casemates 
were divided into lower and upper apartments. A beam of light is admitted through a nar- 
row window or embrasure, high up near the arched ceiling. From the first east casemate 
a door leads back into an mterior dark room. F"roni the funhest casemate on the same 
side an entrance leads back into a dark chamber, off from which a narrow passage leads 
through a wall 5 feet deep into a space 6 feet wide; and from this a low aperture 2 feet 
square gives access througl; another wall 5 feet deep, into an innermost vault or chamber, 
which is 19H feet long. 132-3 feet broad, and 8 feet high. The arched roof is of solid 
masonry. There is no other outlet than the single aperture. This is the so-called "dungeon" 
of Fort Marion. It was designed for a powder magazine or bomb-proof. When the fort was 
in repair the chamber was dry and fit for use as a safe deposit for explosives; but when the 
water from above percolated through the cocjuina. this bomb-proof or powder magazine 
became damp and unwholesome. For this reason it was no longer used except as a place 
to throw rubbish into. Then it bred fevers, and finally, as a sanitary measure, the Spaniards 
walled it up. and the middle room as well. They did this in the readiest way by closino- the 

entrances with coquina ma- 
sonry. When the United 
States came into possession 
of the fort the officers sta- 
tioned here did not suspect 
the existence of these disused 
chambers, although among 
the residents of the town were 
men who had knowledge of 
them and of their prosaic use 
as deposits for rubbish. One 
of these residents once related 
to the writer his recollection 
of the disused powder maga- 
zine, as he was familiar with 
it when, as a boy, he was em- 
ployed at the fort. In 1839 
the masonry above the middle 
chamber caved in, and while 
the engineers were making 
repairs the closed entrance to 
the innermost chamber was 
noticed, and investigation led 
to its discovery. Refuse and 
rubbish were found there. The 
report was given out — whether 
at the time or later — that in 
this rul)bish were some bones. 
From this insignificant begin- 
ning the myth-makers evolved 
first the tale that the bones 
were human, then they added 
a rusty chain and a staple in 
the wall, a gold ring on one

In the wall of the court oppo- 
site, the French astronomers 
who came here in 1879 to ob- 
serve the transit of Venus have 
Jeft a marble tablet in commem- 
oration of their visit. In the 
northwest bastion is another 
dark room. Casemate loc is 
known as "Coacoochee's cell." 
Coacoochee was a Seminole 
chief, who at one time during 
the Seminole War was confined 
here: and with a companion 
made his escape by squeezing 
through the embrasure and drop- 
ping to the moat. The Seminole 
chief Osceola was also a pris- 
oner in Fort ^Marion, whence he 
was removed to Fort ]\Ioultrie, 
in Charleston Harbor, where he 
died. 

From the court a stone ascent 
leads up to the terreplein of the 
ramparts. This ascent was orig- 
inally an inclined plane for ar- 
tillery. At the outer angle of 
each bastion is a sentry bo.x. 
r walls of the fort between the bastions arc the curtains. The walls are 9 feet thick 
4' J at top, and 25 feet high above the present moat level. The bastions are filled

with earth. The fort is surrounded by a moat, 40 feet wide, formerly deeper than at present, 
Avith a cemented concrete floor, and flooded from the bay at high tide. Along the outer 
edge of the inoat are narrow level spaces called covered-ways; and wider levels called 
places-of-arms, where artillery was mounted and the troops gathered, protected by the outer 
wall or parapet, from which slopes the glacis. The fortification of stone (water battery) in 
front was built by the United States in 1842. The small brick building (hot shot furnace) 
in the moat dates from 1844. 



In different forms and bearing' different names, the fort has been estabHshed 
more tlian three centuries. For two hundred years the fort was St. Augustine, and 
St. Augustine was Florida. At first a rude and temporary structure of pine log's,

tlie fortification expanded in magnitude until it developed into the great stone 
fortress. In the years of its building the progress of such a work was slow. Con- 
victs from Spain and Mexico, and Indians and slaves, quarried the stone on 
Anastasia Island, ferried it across the bay, and toiled at the walls; and it was not 
until the year 1756 that the work was considered finished. The story goes that the 
King of Spain, counting up the cost, fancied that the fort must have been built

of gold ; and we may well imagine that successive Governors-General filled their 
pockets out of the job and went home rich men. 

The walls are built of coquina, which in its day was considered a very excellent 
material for this purpose, since cannon balls would sink into the wall without 
shattering it as they would harder stone. ( )n the sea front of the southwest 
bastion are crevices, which according to local tradition were caused by British 
cannon balls from the opposite shore when the town was besieged by Oglethorpe, 
who in 1740 landed a force on Anastasia Island and bombarded the fort for forty 
days. In that age of crude artillery the coquina bastions were capable of with- 
standing a much more serious attack than that of Oglethorpe's batteries ; but the 
art of war has changed since then, and Fort Marion would quickly be shattered 
by modern guns. 

Shortly after coming into the possession of the United States, the fort was 
named Fort Marion, in honor of the Revolutionarv hero. General Francis Marion.

St. Anastasia Island, lying in front of the town, between bay and ocean, is 
a favorite resort for excursion parties, and has many attractions for the tourist. 
The most pleasant time for a visit is the afternoon. The route is by bridge from 
King street, and rail, drive or cycle path. The Lighthouse is usually 
open to visitors. The light is a fixed white and revolving flash light, flashing 
once every 3 minutes, and is visible 19 miles. The purpose of the variability of the 
light is to render it distinguishable from others. Thus, while the St. Augustine 
light is a fixed white light varied by a flash every 3 minutes, the St. Johns River 
light, the next one north, is a fixed white light; and the Cape Canaveral light, 
the second one south, flashes every minute. The black and white spiral stripes, 
\vhicli make the tower look like a grotesque Brobdingnagian barber's pole, dis- 
tinguish it from others by day ; the tower of the St. Johns River light is red ; that 
of the Cape Canaveral light has black and white horizontal bands. 

Anastasia Island extends from St. Augustine south 12 miles to I\I.\taxzas 
Inlet, where there are picturesque ruins of an old Spanish fort which defended 
the sea approach to the town from the south. The name Matanzas (from the 
Spanish Maianza — slaughter) commemorates the massacre of the Huguenots, 
which occurred here in the year 1565, an event connected with the founding of 
St. Augustine by Pedro Menendez. The French Huguenots had established a 
settlement on the River wSt. Johns, and in 1 565 Menendez came with a Spanish 
force to drive them out. He landed at the Indian village of .'^clov, and on 
its site ftnmded St. Augustine. The French, leaving a garrison in tlieir Fort 
Caroline, sailed to attack St. Augustine, but their ships were driven south by a 
storm. Thereupon Menendez marched to the St. Johns, captured the k^rench 
fort and put the garrison to death. Upon his return to St. Augustine he learned 
that the French fleet had been wrecked on the coast. He proceeded south to 
this inlet, discovered the Frenchmen on the other side, and by false promises in- 
duced them to surrender and deliver up their arms. Then he sent them ])oats, 
brought them over in small Ixands at a time, Ijound them, blindfolded them, led 
them behind the sand hills, and there in the name of religion put them to death.

It has l)cen the fashion in dcscri])ing St. Augustine to lay emphasis on its 
Spanish character. W'itli the one exception of the fort, however, no specially 
notahle example of Spanish architecture was to be found here. Throughout the 
entire period of its rule from Aladrid the town appears to have been alwavs pooi,

natural conditions were wanting. The sky above St. Augustine arches as deli- 
cately blue and soft as th.at of Seville. The sunlight is as warm and as golden as 
that which floods the patios of Spanish Alcazars. The Florida heavens are as 
radiantly brilliant by night, and the full moon floats as luminously above the 
Atlantic coast, as where the pinnacles and minarets of A'alencia glitter in its 
beams on the ^Mediterranean shore. Add to these natural adaptations the historic 
associations of Spain and the .Spaniards, and there is little room for wonder that 
the visitor looked for some architectural monuments other than gloomy fortifica- 
tions to commemorate the dignity and pride of the ancient Spanish rule. 



30 THE STANDARD GUIDE. 

Some such reflections as these, perhaps, prompted the designers of the 
projected Ponce de Leon to look to the architecture of Spain for the style most 
appropriate for the structure. They found it in the Spanish Renaissance ; and 
this was well chosen, for it was the style of which the development coincided with 
the most glorious period of Spanish history. 

The historic symbolism of the decoration is to be observed at the verv gateway 
of the court in the lion's masque which ornaments each of the gateposts. It is 
the heraldic lion of Leon, that sturdy Spanish town which so long and so bravely 
witlistood the Moors ; and an emblem, too, of the doughty warrior, Juan Ponce 
de Leon, proclaimed in his epitaph "a lion in name and a lion in heart." Above 
the arch of the gateway, repeated in the spandrels of the panel arches, is the 
stag's head, which was the sacred totem of Seloy. the Indian village on whose 
site St. Augustine was built. From the gateway of the court the towers are seen 
for the first time in their full proportions. Each side of the square tower is 
pierced near the top with an arched window, opening upon a balcony, reminding 
us of the balconies of IMohammedan mosques ; and from them, at morning, noon 
or nightfall, we might almost expect to hear the muezzin's call to prayer. Cross- 
ing the court, past the fountain, we approach the grand entrance. This is a full- 
centered arch, 20 feet wide. Around the face of the arch, in a broad band, carved 
in relief on a row of shields, a letter to a shield, runs the legend. Poiicc dc Leon. 
Garlands depend from the shields, which are supported by mermaids. This is 
another suggestion of the sea as the source whence came the shell composite of 
the hotel walls ; and also of the sea as the field of Ponce de Leon's achievements. 
The suggestion is further emphasized in the shell-pattern in the spandrels of the 
arch, and yet again in the marine devices of the coats-of-arms on the two shields. 
The other entrances, on the east and west, should have attention before we leave 
the court. In the wall, on each side of the doorway, is a deep fountain niche. 
The water issues from the mouth of a dolphin. Above the door, in the key of the 
arch, is a shield with a shell device, and medallions with Spanish proverbs occupy 
the spandrels. The dolphins of the fountain niches have special appropriateness ; 
they are not only tvpical of the sea, but have a local significance as well, for the 
bay of St. Augustine once bore the name River of Dolphins, given it by 
Laudonniere, the Huguenot captain, who anchored his ships here in 1564. The 
allusion to the sea, in the dolphins and the shells, is a motive repeated again and 
again throughout the hotel ; even the door knobs are modeled after shells. 

While the decorations of the rotunda are true to the Spanish Renaissance style, 
the motives for them have been found in the Spain and the Florida of the 
sixteenth century ; the symbolism is of the spirit of that age and the impulses 
which then held sway. Painted on the pendentives of the cove ceiling of the 
second story are female figures typical of Adventure, Discovery. Conquest, 
Civilization. Four other figures represent the elements. Earth. Air. Fire, and 
Water The decorations in the penetrations are lyres, with swans on either side. 
The Ivres are surmounted alternatelv bv a masque of the Sun god of the Florida

the Golden Fleece, depending from its flint-stone, surrounded by flames of gold. 
Where this appears, the design of the border is the Collar of the Golden Fleece, 
the chain of double steels interlaced with flint-stones. 

Below in the spandrels of the corridor arches is seen the stag's head, the 
barbaric emblem of the Sun-worshiping Indians. Shields bear the arms of the 
present provinces of Spain, and on cartouches are emblazoned the names of the 
great discoverers of America. Cornucopias are favorite forms here, as else- 
where throughout the hotel. 

The upper dome is modeled in high relief ; around its base dances a band of 
laughing Cupids; between these figures are circular openings; and the vault 
above is all modeled with delicate tracery of pure white and gold effects ; casques 
and sails signify the military and maritime achievements of .Spain ; and the crown 
of the dome is surrounded with eagles.

A broad stairway of marble and Mexican onyx leads to a landing, from which 
is entered the dining hall. In delighthilly antique letters set in mosaic in the 
floor of the landing is the aptly chosen verse of welcome, taken from Shenstone : 

Whoe'er has traveU'd life's dull round, 

Where'er his stages may have been, 
May sigh to think he still has found 

The warmest welcome at an inn. 

On each end. north and south, of the central dining hall is a panel of dancing 
Cupids, with roguish faces and outstretched hands, representing the feast ; some 
extend clusters of luscious grapes, and bread and cups of wine in welcome to the 
guests, while others ladle steaming olla from great Spanish caldcrons. On the wall 
above are pictured ships of Spain, with sails full set and gracefully waving 
streamers and pennants; they are the high-pooped Spanish caravels of the six- 
teenth centurv. just such vessels as that in which Ponce de Leon came to Florida 
in his search for the fountain. On the pendentives between the stained-glass 
windows, allegorical paintings represent the Four Seasons. The grand parlor

garlands and tilmy drapery amid clouds in the corner ceilings.

On the south side of King street, opposite the Ponce de Leon, is the Alcazar, 
an adjunct of the hotel, and in architecture a fitting complement of it: '■ The 
Alcazar is of Spanish Renaissance style, and of a design which, like that of the 
Ponce de Leon, is original throughout. Within is a court of flowers, shrubbery/ 
and vines, with a fountair playing in the center. The court — not unworthy to be 
•compared with the patios of the Alcazars in Siniin — is surrounded by an arcade, 
upon which open shops and offices. Beyond is the Casino, in which are the great '| 
:swimming pools of sulphur water from the artesian wells. 

The group of concrete hotels on the Alameda is completed by the Hotel 
Cordova. In stvle it does not follow the Spanish Renaissance architecture; the 
suggestions for the heavy walls and battlemented towers were found in the strong 
castles and town defenses of Spain ; it recalls those architectural monuments of 
ihe warring ages of the past ; vast piles of masonry, which grew with the incre- 
ments of hundreds of years, amid the conflicts of Roman and Goth and Moor and 
Christian. Thus the archway on the north fagade, formerly a gateway, flanked by 
massive towers round and square, was an adaptation of the Puerto del Sol, or 
Gate of the Sun, of Toledo, one of the famous remains of the Moorish dominion 
in Spain. The balconies of the lower range of windows are the "kneeling bal- 
conies" of Seville, so called because the protruding base was devised by Michael 
Angelo to permit the failhfiil to kneel at the passing of religious festivals.

Jacksc-nville, on the St. John's River, twenty-five miles from the sea, is the 
entering point for Florida from the north. It is the largest city in the State, and 
the railway and steamship center. All trains arrive at and depart from the L'nion 
Passenger Station, thus avoiding transfers. .\11 Xorthern and Western lines here 
connect with the Florida East Coast Line. The Clyde Line steamships run to 
Charleston and New York, and the Clyde's St. John's' River steamers ascend the 
river to Sanford, and the Independent Line of steamboats to Green Cove Springs. 
The great fire of 1900 swept over a large area of the city, entirely destroying 145 
blocks, and blotting out many of the familiar landmarks ; but from the ruins a new 
Jacksonville has arisen more substantial, and in time to be more attractive than 
ihe old. The city has enjoyed long-established popularity as a tourist resort, and 
ample provision is made for the comfort of visitors. It has well paved streets, 
shaded by live oaks and other foliage trees, and there are many pleasant drives 
in the suburbs. A place of much interest is the Florida Ostrich Farm, where the 
breeding of ostriches for their feathers is an established and successful industrv. 
Ostrich culture may here be studied in all stages, from the giant egg to the 
plucked plumes. 

Going south from St. Augustine, one comes first to Palatk.a, on the St. John's 
River, twenty-eight miles from St. Augustine via the East Coast Railway, and 
fifty-six miles from Jacksonville. Palatka is an attractive and flourishing citv,

and the walks and drives in all directions are romantic and beautiful. Rowboats 
and small steamers can be leased for excursions to points on the St. John's River. 
The city is the point of departure for the ( )cklawaha steamboats. 

The Ocklawaha River Tour affords a revelation of some of the wildest and 
most novel scenery in the State, and an experience never to be forgotten. The 
river is navigated by the steamers of the Consolidated Ocklawaha River Lines, 

from Palatka and Silver 
Springs, railroad connection 
being made at each of these 
points. (See time table in our 
advertising pages.) The steam- 
boats are lighted on their way 
through the night, and the ex- 
cursion is one which remains 
in memory as the weirdest ex- 
perience of a lifetime. The 
stream is narrow and ex- 
tremely tortuous, and is over- 
arched by giant oaks, magno- 
lias, palmettos, cypresses, bays 
and other trees, all festooned 
with "Spanish moss" in pro- 
fusion. The effect by daylight 
is novel and fascinating, and 
by night it is fantastic, mysteri- 
ous and bewildering beyond 
description. Silver Springs is 
a circular basin, 600 feet in 
diameter, of water of wonderful 
clearness, which bursts up in 
a great flood from a depth of 
65 feet in such volume as to 
form the navigable river by 
which the steamboat has en- 
tered the spring. So clear is the spring, that from a boat the smallest objects 
can be seen at the bottom, and a nail may be watched all the way as it goes 
down, turning and darting in erratic course. 

Ormond, sixty-eight miles from St. Augustine by the East Coast Railway, is 
situated on the Halifax River, and also on the Atlantic beach, the two being 
separated by a peninsula a half-mile wide. The Halifax belongs to that system 
of inland waters which are more properly termed lagoons. They are fed by inlets 
from the sea and extend from a little below St. Augustine to Lake Worth.

AN ORMOND TALLY-HO. 



The Ormond climate is of that medium quaHty wiiich permits one to come 
in October and stay until the end of May. The walks in all directions are singu- 
larl\- attractive, being either shelled or planked over sandy spots, and provided 
with numerous rustic seats and arbors along the shaded river banks or through 
the trails across the half-mile peninsula that connects the river v.'ith the ocean. 
Oimond is famous for its drives and its bicycle paths and beaches. There is no 
finer beach anywhere on the Atlantic shore than at Ormond. It is 250 feet wide 
at mean tide, and extends for many miles up and down the coast. It is lively 
with all sorts of pleasure carriages, bicycles and bathers. The six-horse tally-ho 
hardly leaves a mark on the smooth surface of this magnificent beach. It is at- 
tractive also in the variety of beautiful shells that are swept up by the high tides. 

The greatest single attraction of Ormond is the 'i'omoka River, once the 
chosen resort of the Tomoka tribe of Indians. Black bass from three to six 
pounds in weight abound in its deep still waters, and red bass are taken near its 
mouth. Its high wooded bluffs afford dry and picturesque camping grounds. 
As much of a curiosity as is the Ocklawaha. twisting its weird and narrow way 
through gloomy cypresses, it is yet far more beautiful and accessible. It can.

easily be reached by carriage or boat. Steamboat excursions up the Tomoka are 
made daily during tlie season. 

Daytona, five miles to the south of Ormond, occupies an elevated hammock 
site on a circling arm of the Halifax, whence it looks out upon a bay of singular 
beautv. The natural attractions are many — a clean, hard river shore, shady 
drives amid oaks and palmettos, and on the ocean side of the peninsula the well- 
named Silver IJeach. Daytona is the chosen winter residence of many wealthy 
families from the North, who have built here the homes which give to the village 
its dominant air. The founders of Daytona set out to make a New England set- 
tlement in the South, and the thriving, prosperous and growing village, which 
is essentiallv one of homes, is marked by the best characteristics of Massachusetts 
town life. Something of its beauty is hinted in our illustration of Ridgewood 
avenue, one of the many avenues and streets for which Daytona is famous. Op- 
portunities for the wheelman are afforded, in miles of shady roads and cycle 
paths, and a beach winch is wonderfully hard and smooth, and stretches for thirty 
miles without a break in its even surface, on which the hoof of a trotting horse 
makes no impression. The Halifax affords opportunities for sailing, and there 
is a large fleet of pleasure craft. The fisliing for salt-water species is capital.

A CHARACTERISTIC BIT OF DAYTONA. 



New S^n'RXA, three miles further south, on the Hillsborough River, is the 
oldest settlement on the East Coast south of St. Augustine ; and is historically 
famous for the Greek and Minorcan colony. 1,500 strong, established by Dr. 
Turnbull in 1767. All along the river bank for four miles north and three miles 
south are scattered the ruins of old Alinorcan houses, with coquina stone floors, 
chimneys and wells, curbed with hewn stone. The drainage canals, indigo vats 
and ruins of old sugar mills indicate large industries. 

From New Smyrna a branch line of the Florida East Coast Railway System 
runs to Blue Springs, on the St. John's River, thirty-two miles west. This is the 
route to De Land and to Lake Helex, a resort of established reputation. 

RocKLEnGE is named from the bold coquina ledges, which lend a picturesque 
beauty to the shore line. The foot walk for several miles on the high river bank, 
leading through one splendid orange grove to another, is very fascinating. There 
is a grand outlook across the river to Merritt's Island, which is also populous with 
villas, groves and gardens. The sailboats and rowboats and launches, the 
pedestrian parties one continually meets on the river ])ath, the well-contented

pickers amid the golden fruit, and the skilled landscape gardening that emblazons 
the walks and grounds of the hotels with brilliant tropical flowers, all unite to 
make Rockledge deservedly and permanently popular with winter tourists. A 
favorite excursion is to the beautiful estate well named Fairyland. The pineapple 
growing district extends from here south to Palm Beach and beyond. 

The lagoons, commonly known as the Ixdian River, make a continuous 
stretch of water scenery for more than 250 miles, and with Biscayne Bay, now 
united with Lake Worth, give an uninterrupted water course of 350 miles, com- 
bining more of fascinating variety and beauty than any other in the United States. 
These connected inland waters vary from weird and twisting narrows 100 feet in 
Avidth to spreading lake-like expanses from three to six miles wide. Sometimes 
thev look out of inlets upon the ocean, and again into the mouths of winding 
creeks or fresh-water rivers that break the western shore. At one point the 
Indian River channels separate and wind among wooded islands, making one 
think of the lochs of Scotland.

the pineapple district. The section is one of interest, too, because of the relics 
of a bygone age and a vanished people ; there are Indian mounds, and the earth- 
works of old Fort Pierce, suggestive memorials of the days when the Seminoles 
were making a hopeless stand against fate. Back of Fort Pierce is the home of 
one branch of the .Seminole Indians, and they may here often be seen trading 
their alligator skins, plumes and game for ammunition and supplies. 

L.aKE Worth and Palm Beach. — Southward 300 miles from Jacksonville is 
Palm Beach, on Lake Worth. Here we enter the cocoanut region and the trop- 
ical paradise of Florida. Lake W'orth is, like the other waters of the Indian River 
system, a salt-water lagoon, twent}-lwo miles long by an average of a mile in 
width, and separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a peninsula about a mile wide. 
Here is situated the Royal Poinciana, one of the largest hotels in the world, 
and roval indeed in respect both of its entirely unique surroundings and its 
magnificent appointments. Fronting the beautiful lake and commanding also 
the ocean view, it has the peculiar advantage of a lordly grove of cocoanut palms 
and the finest environments of tropical gardening. The magnificent hotel does 
not stand alone in respect of such environments ; for several miles along the lake 
n-ont range other beautiful and highly improved estates with similar adornments 
of cocoanut palms and a great variety of other tropical flora. 

The climate is very greatly influenced and tempered both in winter and sum- 
mer bv the Gulf .Stream, which passes close to the shore at this point. The nor- 
mal winter temperature is about 70 to 75 degrees.

cocoanut-laden, was east away otY this coast, and the eoeoanuts were waslicd

the coming of the date palm lo Florida ; from S}-ria the conquering Moors carried 
it to Spain ; and from Spain the Spaniards brought it liere. The sago, fan, royal 
and other palms have been introduced. The palms indigenous to Florida include 
the low saw or scrub palmetto, which covers vast areas of the State ; and the 
cabbage palmetto, so called because of the cabbage-like growth, which is edible. 
There arc other palms on the Keys. 

On the western shore of the lake are large pinea])])le ])lantations, each vear 
increasing in nuni])ers and in production. Thirty miles to the west is Lake 
Okcchobee, with settlements of the Seminole Indians, of whom some notes are 
given on another page. Lake Worth and its vicinity, like all the southern East 
Coast country, has developed rapidly since the advent of the railway, which has 
converted it from a region secluded because difficult of access, and has put it in 
quick touch with the rest of the world.

The Miami River, wliich is the principal eastern drainage stream of the Ever- 
glades, at a point four miles from Fort Dallas, narrowing in its bed and rushing 
in titmbling, swirling, foaming rapids over coral rock, presents a genuine novelty 
in this land of smooth-flowing waters. Arch Creek, another outlet of the Ever- 
glades, takes its name from an arch of coral. 

Key West is reached from Miami by steamboats, which make tri-weekly 
trips. The daylight sail of 165 miles is amid the Florida Keys, with a diversity of 
island scenery which in itself well repays one for the excursion. Key West 
(Spanish Cayo TIiicso — Bone Key) is a low coral island lying sixty miles south of 
Cape Sable, and the town is the southernmost city in the United States. Havana 
is only ninety rniles south. Tlie island here at the key of the Gulf is an imoprtant 
strategic point ; it has one of the largest naval stations in the country, and is 
defended l)y Fort Taylor. Not far to the westward, on Garden Key of the Dry 
Tortugas, is the great fortification of Fort Jefferson. 

The picturesque character of the island and town is indicated in our illustra- 
tion, looking from the grim battery of Fort Taylor to the curving shores, with 
their palms. The cocoa and date palms grow in profusion ; and the flora includes

with a sponge glass. This is in effect a bucket with a glass bottom, through 
Avhich, when it is partially submerged, one may see to a great depth. The sponge 
is brought up by a hook on a pole. The sponges are spread on deck, and the 
gelatinous matter decays. When a given quantity has been gathered the crew 
goes to land, where the sponges are placed in crawls, through which the tide ebbs 
and flows, and in a week they are clean. They are then beaten free of sand and 
grit, washed, bleached in the sun and collected into bunches of twenty for sale.

recent years lias it assumed commercial importance. The pineapple is a species 
of air-plant, and belongs to the same family as the tillandsia or "Spanish moss." 
The mature plant is 2^2 feet in height, with a spread of 2 feet across ; the fruit 
is borne on a stalk in the center. Each plant produces one pine in a season. 
Pineapples are grown from suckers, slips or the crowns of the pines ; they are set 
out in midsummer. lo.ooo to 12,000 to the acre; bear in a larger percentage the

The Semtxole Indians are seen at various points on the East Coast from Fort 
Pierce south to Biscayne Bay. They arc the survivors in Florida of a tribe which 
once engaged the anxious attention of the entire country. In 1835 disputes over 
the boundaries of the Indian reservations and c[uarrels over fugitive slaves, which 
the Seminoles were accused of harboring", led to the Seminole War — the most 
costly and disastrous of ihe minor wars of the United States. At the end of seven 
years, in 1842, the Indians were subdued, captured and transported to the reser- 
vation assigned them, where liie remnant yet remain in the Indian Territory. A 
portion of the tribe evaded deportation and betook themselves to this Southern 
country. They hid in the wilderness Everglades and still remain in tacit rebellion, 
and regard the white man with suspicious enmity. While one nation, they are 
divided into th.ree tribes — the Big Cypress, Cow Creek and Miamis. The Big 
Cypress Indians live in the vicinity of Fort Myers, between Caloosahatchee 
River and the Gulf of Mexico; the Miamis live back of Miami, on Biscayne Bay; 
and the Cow Creeks are situated back of Fort Pierce and the St. Lucie River, 
wliich empties into the Indian River. They have no reservation, no land has ever 
been assigned them by the Government. Their dwellings are palmetto huts and 
framed houses; they have horses, dogs, pigs and cattle; and raise corn, sweet 
potatoes and other vegetal.des. Flour or starch, made from the coontie or wild 
cassava has always been a staple article of food. The Florida Indians have cul- 
tivated the soil from primitive days.

The St John's River. — The tourist will hardly be satisfied with the glimpses 
of this noble stream obtained from the car window as the train crosses it at 
Jacksonville or Palatka. but will plan an exciu-sion by steamboat, in which way- 
alone tiie picturesque features of the river may be seen. The lower portions of 
the St. John's are a succession of magnificent reaches, or inland seas, the shores 
Imed with forests of live oak, sweet gum, pine, magnolia and palmettos. In its 
upper (southern ) portion the vegetation becomes more tropical ; the river now 
narrows to a toituous passage and again opens into lieautiful lakes, and the 
traveler is charmed with the novel scenery and the changing panorama. 

Magnolia Springs, situated on the west bank of the St. John's River, 
twent}-eight miles south of Jacksonville, reached by the Atlantic Coast Line, 
or by river steamers, is one of the older tourists resorts. It won its fame in the 
old days before the improved means of travel had lured so many to the new re- 
gion further south ; but its attractions are as strong to-day as ever before for 
visitors who have once looked out over the noble reaches of the river from the 
shaded banks of Magnolia. The St. John's River at this point broadens out into 
a sheet of water three miles wide, having much the appearance of a lake, which, 
together with the numerous creeks, furnishes al;/undant opportunity for boating. 
The Magnolia tennis courts have been the scene of some of the most successful

tlie most attractive in Florida. Shooting and fishing are excellent in the imme- 
diate vicinity. Magnolia Springs takes its name from a magnificent spring, whose 
waters, besides being remarkable for their purity and excellence as table waters 
have well-attested therapeutic (jualities, especially in rheumatic affections. Oni 
of the favorite walks from Magnolia is St. David's Path, or Lovers' Lane (ever} 
well-ordeied resort in Florida has a Lovers' Lane), which leads for a mile and a 
half along the forested banks of the St. John's to Green Cove Springs. 

De Land is situated in the orange grove section, between the vSt. John's River 
and the Atlantic Ocean, loo miles south of Jacksonville, on the Atlantic Coast 
Line. The town is noted for its salubrious climate and healthfulness, and for 
the enterprise, intelligence and high character of its people. The city is for mdes 
surrounded l)y forests of the yellow southern pine, enriching the air with balsam. 
The atmosphere at De Land is, for Florida, remarkably dry. No lakes, rivers or 
swamps are in the immediate vicinity, and the deep deposit of porous sand pro- 
vides perfect surface drainage. Shade trees are abundant. Rows of substantial 
brick business buildings, all occui)ied, give the city an aspect of prosperity, which 
is enhanced by the numerous tasteful, comfortable houses, with their well-kept 
lawns which line the residence streets. De Land is the seat of the John B. 
Stetson University, which has a group of massive and beautiful buildings, cost- 
ing over $300,000; a carefully selected, rapidly growing library of 13,000 vol- 
un\es; a comprehensive nmscum of natural history; distinct, well-equipped

PICTURESQUE NASSAU. 

The passage across ihe Gulf Stream to the "Isles of June" is in effect but a 
slight extension of the Florida tour. From Miami to Nassau the distance is only 
145 miles — a short excursion, which may hardly be said to involve going to sea. 

I'^or the tourist Nassau has man}- attractions ; its climate is peculiarly grateful 
to the fugitive from the rigors and sudden changes of the Northern winter and 
spring. Basking in floods of perpetual sunshine and swept by soft ocean breezes, 
the Bahamas enjoy a temperature which is remarkaljly equable ; from October 
to June the mercury ranges from 65 to 80 degrees ; official records show for 
January 70 degrees. February 71 degrees. March jz degrees, and April 75 degrees. 
This is a sunmier land, though the calendar marks tlie winter season; and the 
whole aspect of the island is of simimer and summer life. The houses are built 
with generous piazzas and latticed verandas, and are embowered amid roses, 
jasmines and oleanders. ( )range. lemon and lime are everywhere. Slender

palms uplift their plumes against the sky. Here we are in the tropics, but the 
tropics tempered by the gratefully invigorating influences of the sea. 

Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas. The Governor, who is appointed by 
the Crown, resides here. The population numbers 15,000, of whom four-fifths 
are colored. The city is admirably governed ; the white residents are for the most 
part descendants of English colonial families ; there is here that spirit of hospi- 
tality \\hich is never wanting in countries where the doors always stand open. 
The island is of coral formation. The native rock is an admirable road-building 
material ; the roads of Xew Providence are notet! for their excellence, and driving 
and wheeling are favorite amusements. One may visit the palm groves and make 
test of the milk fresh from the cocoanut ; prove the excellence of the Bahama 
pineapples, newly picked from the stem; or inspect the plantations of sisal hemp, 
which looks like the century plant. 

7'he water excursions include a visit to the Sea Gardens, a point in the chan- 
nel where the bottom is covered with fan-leaf coral of many vivid hues, amid 
which swim fishes of graceful form and brilliant colors. Rowboats are provided 
with glass plates in the bottom, througli which the marine life may be studied. 
Night excursions are matle to the "Lake of Fire." This is an artificial pond

which was built as a storage reservoir for Hve fish and green turtles, and which 
has become phosphorescent in an extraordinary degree. 

The island is of coral formation, and one peculiarity to attract attention is the 
prevailing absence of soil and the astonishing way the trees grow from the rock — 
or, for that matter, on the top of a wall. There are no running streams, no wild 
animals except hares, and of snakes only the innocent and harmless chicken- 
snake. 

Life in Nassau is for the most part repose and light-hearted, care-free indo- 
lence. The principal industries of the Bahamas are sponging and wrecking. In 
old days the ])lace was a secure stronghold of the famous pirate Black-Beard, 
legends of whose escapades, exploits and ferocity still hnger about the island. 
During our Civil War Nassau was headquarters of the blockade runners, who 
sailed from here to run the blockades of Confederate ports ; there were three hun- 
dred such entries and departures in a single year. In those times cotton was king, 
and the value of Nassau imports and exports amounted in one year to fifty mil- 
lions of dollars.

THE QUEEN S STAIRCASE. 



The feature of Nassau which is most pleasing is the wonderfully brilliant 
coloring of the sea, in shades of green and pink, purple and Ijlue, in all the rich 
tones and combinations and changing effects of the sky and clouds at sunset. The 
coloring is due in part to the character of the bottom ; a sand bottom gives the 
light color, and stretches of vegetable grow^th cause the dark shading. The 
sheltered harbor, the shining beaches of outlying keys, with the vivid green of 
their verdure, and the deepening tones of the sea, blending in the distance with 
the sky, so that one may not determine where the sea ends and the sky begins — 
all this, as the sun lowers in the west, affords an entrancing scene, to look upon 
which is the rarest pleasure in Nassau and the best remcml)ercd picture of a 
holiday in the Bahamas. 

The Queen's Staircase is a series of steps cut in the side of an old stone quarry 
and leading up from the street below to the height on which stands Fort Fin- 
castle. The fort, built in 1789, is now a ruin. Its reseml)lance to a vessel has given 
it the name of Ship Fort, and the likeness is enhanced by the flags on the stafT 
which signal the sighting of sliips at sea. Fort Charlotte, a massive fortification

hewn out of the soHd rock, on the hill west of the town, also serves as a signal 
station to report to the town the movements of shipping. The fort, completed 
in 1788, was named after Queen Charlotte. An obelisk on the hill near the fort 
is a mark for pilots entering the harbor. On the esplanade at the foot of the hill 
a modest monument commemorates the heroism of five men who in 1861 lost their 
lives "whilst gallantly volunteering their services in the effort to save two men 
belonging to the pilot boat which had been upset by a heavy sea." A third forti- 
fication is Fort Montague, on the shore at the eastern entrance to the harbor; 
like the others, it is in ruin; and the old cannon have no story to tell of valiant 
defense against a Spanish foe. 

Among the novel forms of vegetation which interest the visitor the most 
remarkable is the ancient ceiba or silk cotton tree near the public l)uildings, whose 
immense buttresses are shown in our illustration. Close by is a grove of the 
royal poinciana. Another tree to attract notice is the whistling bean, named from 
the sound produced by the wind blowing upon its seed pods ; it is also called "old 
woman's tongue" because it is never quiet. The small boys importune the 
stranger to buy the "sand box bean," a seed pod whicli takes its name from the 
old ink sandino- box. which is resembles.

The negro settlements of Congo Town and Grant's Town, lying just outside 
of Nassau on the west, are extremely curious collections of thatched huts and 
little houses, with cocoanut palms and oranges, and diminutive garden patches, 
surrounded by walls of rock. It is all rock here; when they plant they use the 
axe instead of the spade. The people are descendants of slaves and of companies 
of Africans rescued from slave ships by British men-of-war, and given asylum 
here. They have preserved many of the primitive African ways. Everything 
tells of an extreme simplicity of living, the barest of housing and the most meagre 
fare ; it is all on a small scale ; even the people themselves are small. Among 
lhe novel customs of Congo Town are the night markets, when fires are kindled 
1)y the roadside, for the display of vegetables and fruit; and the fire dances, in 
which the dancing is about a fire outdoors.

The Attractions of Cuba. 

To those informed of its many charms, Cuba is irresistil)le. There is a charm 
verdant and blooming with the still, deep life of the tropics ; a charm in the 
ecjuableness of its climate, and as potent a charm in its polite, hosi)italjle and 
interesting- people. 

Yet, notwithstanding all this, and its proximity, Cuba is but little known to 
the American people. Those who have studied Cuba and its vast possibilities 
wonder often that this is so. It is almost inconceivable that the shackles that 
have bound this fertile and lovely island to the mediaeval administration of an 
efifete European state should not have been shattered fifty or a hundred years 
ago, so rich is it, in every way calculated to arouse the energies of man. But 
bound in an unprogressive passivity though it has been for centuries, it has 
shown remarkable evidences of vigorous activity during the very short period 
that has elapsed since the revolution, and they who have studied Cuba since are 
invariably of the opinion that its future will unfold itself in a prosperity second 
to none. The fertilit}- of its soil is proverbial, and herein lies its key to pros- 
perity, although vast forests abound with rich and valuable timber, and its 
mineral deposits are large. 

The climate of Cuba is superb throughout the year, but particularly so dur- 
ing the winter months ; and this fact, combined with its splendid natural scener- 
ies and ever verdant landscapes is the reason why it is predicted that Cuba will 
become one of the most famous winter resorts in the world. 

To-day the island is gridironed by railroads, the recent opening of the new 
line from Santa Clara to Santiago de Cuba, enabling through trains to run from 
one end of the Island to the other. With its vast possibilities, and the modern 
transportation facilities with which it is now provided, it is not necessary to 
have the seer's vision to predict its glorious future. 

The sail from either Port Tampa or Miami is so short as to eliminate the 
disagreeable effects conuuonly consequent upon a sea voyage. The route as 
far as Key West is constantly within sight of the Florida keys, and after leaving 
Key West, it is but a six or seven hours' sail across the Florida straits to the 
metropolis of the ^^'est Indies. 

No winter tour to this part of the world is complete that does not include 
Cuba in its itinerary. Hie first thing that looms up in view upon approaching 
Havana is that historic fort, as famous as the island itself — Morro Castle. The 
Florida steamers invariably enter at daybreak, when the first sight of the harbor 
and city is at its best. At the left is the castle, and at the right the city, with 
the beautiful sea wall "Malecon" and its splendid promenade, the "Prado" in 
the foreground. 



THE ATTRACTIOXS OF CCB.!. 

Havana is considered one of the niost pictin-escjue cities of the Western 
Hemisphere, and is certainly quaint in many of its aspects, and therefore inter- 
esting. Its architecture and streets are of a distant ]iast, while its hustle and 
commercial activity remind one of the modern metropolis. There are enough 
sights in and around the city to keep the tourist busy as long as he elects to 
remain; but, however interesting Havana may ])e, one cannot get an accurate 
idea of the beauty and fertility of the islaiid without \isiting the interior. 

One of the most interesting of trips is that to Matanzas, located on the 
United Railways of Havana, some fifty-iive miles from Havana. ( )n the wav to 
.Aiatanzas, some of the most considerable sugar plantations on the island are 
l=assed, thus affording the passenger during the zafra, or harvest, which extends 
from December to May, the interesting sight of cane l)eing cut and carted to 
the ingenios, or mills. This short railway journey is replete with scenery that 
is novel and fascinating to the tourists from the Xorth. 1die ]ieculiar richness 
<jf the native red soil — the most productive in the world — may be appreciated 
from the car window, and one ceases to doubt how it is ])ossible to gather two 
and three crops of corn a )ear and a iiracticall}- ])er])etual crop of cane without 
replanting, and without the use of an (3unce of fertilizer. Countless thousands 
of giant royal palms are seen on either sid.e — now in stately avenues, indicating 
existing or ancient boundaries, or entrances to the countr\- homes of rich 
planters and others ; again, scattered about promiscuously on hill-top and in 
hollow. Xot less characteristic of this marvelous landscape is the ceiba. or 
silk-cotton tree, whose smooth massive trunk and flat mass of foliage at the 
top, sometimes covered with parasitic plants, cannot but excite admiration. 
These trees are especially conspicuous, as they generally rise isolated out of the 
level plains. Hut the striking feature of all to the visitor accustomed to pass 
the fall and winter in higher latitudes is the ever green foliage and grass- 
covered fields. 

Matanzas is a beautiful city of some 40.000 ])Oi)ulation, and is divided into the 
so-called old and now towns by the Rio San Juan, and flanked by the Yunnud 
River, both of which are spanned bv magnificent bridges. Its streets are wide, 
clean and well kept, and the city and its environs are uncommonly healthy. 

At a half hour's dri\-e from the city Cuba's mo^t famous natural attractions 
may be seen — the Vunuu'i \ alle}' and l.)ellamar Caves. The former, for beauty 
and luxuriance of natural scenery, pales all description. The United Railways 
of Havana have solved the difficidties formerly incident to the journey. This 
company now issues coupon tickets including the round-trip fare between 
Havana and Matanzas, an excellent lunch at the principal hotel of the citw a 
volanta (or carriage) drive through the l)est streets of the town, and to the 
^Tunuri A'alley and E*)ellamar Caves, and admission to the caves. Parties leave 
tiavana daily under the conduction of a competent guide-interpreter in the 
emplo}' of the compan\- — whose services are al)solutely gratis, and whose duty 
it is to ]:)ro\'i(ie for the comfort and convenience of i):isseugers.

Savannah, with its twenty-four parks and its broad streets shaded with 
magnificent oaks, its many handsome residences, and its flower gardens which 
bloom the year around, is one of the most attractive cities in the South. Forsyth 
Park, the Pulaski Monument, and the Jasper Monument should have attention, 
while the busy scenes of Bay street and the river front offer an excellent oppor- 
tunity to study the vast commercial interests of which Savannah is the center. 
Bonaventure Cemetery is renowned for its ancient live-oaks, trees as majestic and 
impressive as any to be found on the Atlantic Coast. 

Charleston is full of objects of interest to every American. Here in the 
harbor is Fort Sumter, with dismantled walls, but flying the Stars and Stripes 
above it. At Moultrieville is the grave of Osceola, the Seminole, who died while 
imprisoned in Fort Moultrie. The new fortifications just finished by the United 
States Government are the largest in extent on the Atlantic coast. The Mag- 
nolia Gardens, filled with japonicas, rose bushes and azaleas, present a spectacle 
of floral magnificence, and the continent may be challenged to equal the superb 
efifect. Artists make pilgrimages to Charleston in the spring to paint its won- 
derful flowers. The Chicora Golf Club has a fine course, with cozy club house, 
where tourists will be welcome. There are miles of fine shell roads for the car- 
riage and bicycle, leading along broad avenues lined with handsome residences 
and through groves of ancient oaks draped with silver moss. On the road 
around the Battery an excellent view of the harbor and many historical points of 
interest is obtained. Then there is old St. Michael's, the ante-Revolutionary 
Church, with its historic chimes and tall tower. 

Su:m:\ierville, South Carolina, twenty-two miles from Charleston, on the 
Southern Railway, is in a piny woods region, where the pure, fresh, dry air is of 
special advantage to health-seekers, and the pleasure tourist will find in the de- 
lightful climate and the many things to engage attention and pique interest 
abundant excuse for prolonging his visit. 

THOMAS\'rLLE stauds on the highest point of a peculiar ridge that extends 
through a part of .Southwest Georgia. This ridge has been called the Piedmont 
section of the pine belt, because of varied landscape of rolling hills and clear 
streams. From the city, splendid hard roads diverge in every direction, afford- 
ing enchanting drives and rides through the pine forests that encircle the city in 
all directions. These pine forests are now recognized as nature's sanitarium, 
and will add to the health and pleasure of all visitors. A newly completed boule- 
vard makes the circuit of the city at an average distance of two miles from the 
Court House. Some of the views along this drive are as charming and pic- 
turesque as anv in the country, and along its whole length it is canopied by 
overhanging pines and flanked by a rank growth of grass. Thomasvillc is a city

village of refined homes. Each year, as its fame g'oes abroad, it attracts a g'row- 
mg number of permanent residents and tourists tarrying on the way home from 
South to North. It is reached by both the Southern Railway and the Seaboard 
Air Line.

siderably raising the level of the land. This has been turned into a fine lawn, 
taking up the whole of the rounding ])oiut in which the land terminates, and 
perfectly o])en, exce])t for a single row of cocoanut palms and agaves along the 
shore. The view is therefore unimjjeded, and is very line — looking tlirectly 
down the lake to where, perfectly visible, rests the httlk of the Royal Poinciana, 
ten miles distant. 

k'rom the lawn back to the north end of the island extends for nearly a mile an 
unl)r(5ken stretch of orchard and. garden, it is astonishing to note the number 
and variety of tropical and tubtrojucal trees and ])lants that are gathered here. 
Though the area of the island includes in all nearly eighteen acres, unich of it 
is necessaril\- not under cultivatic^u. The groves of cocoanut ])alms contain 
o\er tw<_) thousand trees; there are as many bearing citrus fruits of all species — 
from the daiut\- little kumquat orange and the lime to the massive pomelo and 
Alunyon's lemon — a fruit that is a cross between lemon and shaddock, as large 
as the grapefruit, but preserving all the characteristic lemon shaj^e and flavor. 

Alunyon's Island is visited by almost every one who comes to Palm Peach. 
It lies near one of the conuuanding points of interest — the hue fishing grounds 
oi the inlet, and the sand llats ali\'e with beautiful shell lish and marine curiosities 
of all sorts. It is alwa\s open to the ])ul)lic, and the hospitable monarch of 
this flowery kingdom is e\er read}' to welcome the guest and show all its 
marvels.

"The Land of the Sk\" is tliat ixjrtion of western North CarejHna lying 
between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Iron. Smoky and Unaka ranges of 
eastern Tennessee. It is a su])erb elevated plateau, the lowest point of which 
is more than 2,000 feet above the level of the sea. It is protected in winter from 
chilling winds l)y tlie surrounding mountains, (leographically, it is situated in 
the most favored portion of the temperate zone. To])Ographically, it is moun- 
tainous, and is largely covered with f(M"ests m which the long leaf or turpentine 
pine predominates. It is traversed by splendid rivers, and dotted with beautiful 
skies. Its scenery is unrivaled, even by the more famous localities of the far 
\\'est, and its accessibilit_\" is such that it can be reache<l either from the Xorth. 
the East, the South, or the Middle West in a few hours, whereas the scenic 
glories c^f the West requires several days in which to reach them. 

To reach this favored section the traveler from the East should take one of the 
through trains of the Southern Railway, through W^ashington, Lynchburg, and 
Salisbury, N. C. Close connection is made at Salisbury with the main line trains 
to and from the East, and elegant Pullman drawing room sleei)ing cars afford 
superb service, so that passengers from New York can take the through I'uUman 
sleeping car at that ]Mjint in the evening, and the following day at noon reach 
Asheville or Hot S])rings in perfect comfort and without change of cars. 

From Florida and the South the through trains of the Southern Railway take 
the traveler through Columbia and Spartanburg, affording elegant l^ullman 
car service. 

From the North and ^^"est the most direct route is through Cincinnati, or 
through Chattanooga and Knoxville. 

So it matters not from what direction you may be coming, passengers will 
find the Southern Railwa^• prepared to afford tlu' A'cry best schedule and 
through car service. 



THE STANDARD GUIDE. 



"The Land of the Sky" is about equal lo Switzerland in area, and g'reatly 
resembles it in its majestic natural beauty and sublimity. The greater profusion 
of vegetation here, however, gives a softness of effect to its marvelous land- 
scapes that mark the principal difference between this countr\- and that of 
the European Alps. 

The charm of this land is real and apparent ; its delights are an actuality. 
Perhaps the most notable and complete surrender to the fascination of its 
physical charms is its choice by George Vanderl:»ilt, Es(|., as a site for his re- 
cently established estate. "Biltmore," within two miles of the city of Asheville, 
cind nearly the exact center of this scenic wonderland. Several millions of 
dollars have already been expended upon the grounds, and the work is still 
going on. Mr. A'anderbilt's residence — which is said to have cost more than 
^3.000,000 — occupies the most commanding site in this splendid domain, and is 
considered the masterpiece of its designer, the late Richard M. Hunt, America's 
most famous architect. 

Asheville, that Mecca of health-seekers, the spot best known among the 
resorts of this splendid region, stands higher above the sea level (2,288 feet) than 
any other city in America east of the Rockies. The visitor will find Asheville 
a ])rogressive, modern city. Its streets are well paved and lighted, and trolley 
lines run to all the 
suburbs. The citv 
has an opera house, 
clubs, an art gallerv, 
a public library, a 
handsome new audi- 
torium, and hotels 
which enjoy wide- 
spread and well de- 
served repute for 
their excellence. The 
two largest houses, 
the Battery Park and 
the Kenilworth Inn, 
are each beautifully 
located, the former in 
a handsome private 
park in the very cen- 
ter of the city. Ken- 
ilworth Inn is located 
about two miles from 
the city proper, at 
Biltmore, where is 
also situated ]\Ir. 




THE LAND OF TIIK SKV l^ 



I'll WITH SfEXIC SURPRISES. 



THE LAND OF THE SKY. 

George W. X'aiulerbilt's niagniticent residential property, tlie finest estate in 
America. The Albemarle ?\lanor. Iniilt after the fashion of a (|uaint English 
inn, is also a very excellent hotel, as is also the X'ictoria Inn. There are quite 
a number of hotels of less importance which afford excellent accommodations 
at moderate prices. 

Stretching- from Asheville on the northwest for thirty-four miles is the lovelv 
French Broad River, along \\hich the S(juthern Railway winds. The foaming 
stream here darts out and in between rocky cliffs now gleaming- in a broad 
patch of sunlig;ht, now leaping- along in the shadow of great boulders, ever 
fascinating- in its wild and unrestrained beauty — a water sprite on a madcap 
chase. 

High among these mountains, in a beautiful valley, are Hot Springs, which 
yearly offer relief to hundreds in search of health and strength. I'ut the crown- 
ing glory of the place is its hot waters, which are thrown up from the earth in 
a number of springs, the temperature of which ranges from 96 to no degrees. 

The curative properties of the water of these springs is shown in the marked 
remedial effect in diseases of the liver and kidneys, in rheumatism, gout, and 
sciatica. Persons suft'ering from d}-spepsia, insonmia, or nervous troubles also 
find great relief. 

The Mountain Park Hotel, located here, is comfortable and modern in its 
appointments. 

Another highly favored region is on the branch of the Southern Railway lead- 
ing from Asheville to Spartanburg, S. C, including Tryon, Saluda, Henderson- 
ville. Flat Rock, and the beautiful Sapphire country. 

The Sapphire country is a region full of delightful surprises to the tourist, 
sportsman and health-seeker. No other section contains more clear, cold and 
wonderfully picturescpie streams, so many grand waterfalls, such wide-sweeping 
mountain views, such beautifid lakes and verdure-clad valleys. 

Lakes b^airfield and Sapphire, in the heart of the North Carolina mountains. 
are duplicates of the most beautiful gems of the Adirondacks. Nowhere else in 
the South, at this altitude, are there such bodies of water of wonderful beauty 
and greatly varied characters. There are towering cliffs, rising abruptlv for a 
thousand feet from their shores, and cascades of rare clearness falling directlv 
into the lakes from the lofty tableland surrounding. Indeed, it is the general 
verdict of widely traveled people that, in respect to the remarkable combination 
and ^-aried and attractive character of lake and mountain scenery, this section 
is unrivaled by any in the world. Excellently kept hotels are open the year 
around, affording ample acconunodations to the tourists. 

To those who have been sjK'uding a time imder the bright and languid skies 
of Florida, and who do not wish to risk the sudden transition from sunnuer to 
winter, whicli threatens all who return north, until sj)ring has fairly set in, the 
beautiful mountain region of western North L'arolina holds out alluring attrac- 
tions, because of its superb and unsur])asscd natural scenery, and its excellent 
climate, free from extremes of heat and cold.

Ke Rest Spots 
of Michigan 



" A LL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY," 
^^ is a saying as old as our country, and it was often quoted even 
in the days wlien it was necessary to " earn tiieir bread in the sweat 
of their brow." it was trite then — it is doubly so now, when the 
labor of brain has largely taken tlie place of tiie labor of brawn. Tlie 
brain cries out for rest from the nagging worries of business. There is 
no more delightful spot on earth than any one of the hundreds lying

THE VEDDER COLLECTION. 



' j 'HE MUSEUM belonging to the St. Augustine Institute of Science and 
Historical Society is now shown in the old house corner of Bay and Treasury 
Streets. The house is one of the oldest in the city. It has never been remodeled. 
The cedar beams are uncovered just as they were when the house was built centuries 
ago. The immense old tnre-place is of itself well worth seeing. The room in which 
the fire-place is shown was for many years the City Prison, while the remainder of 
the house was devoted to the purposes of the Court. 

The Museum now comi)rises the well known Vedder Collection which the late 
Dr. Vedder was so many years in gathering and which covers so completely the 
Natural History of Florida. 

To this are added the other Collections of the Society, comprising prehistoric 
implements and weapons from the shell heaps of the East Coast of Florida, showing 
all that we know of the prehistoric dwellers in Florida. Implements and wea]ions 
from the Indian burial mounds. Relics from the Spanish occupation and from the 
early wars. Maps relating to early Florida. These fill five rooms in the building. 
The whole collection is well worth seeing bv everv visitor to St. Augustine.

HOTEL HYGEIA 

MUNYON'S ISLAND, PALM BEACH, FLA. 




"The Mo^l "Beauiiftil Spoi in the ^CO o r I d ." 

Muxyon's Island is situated in tiie middle of Lake Worth, in lull view of the ocean rnd Palm Beach. 
The Island is a mile long and is covered with tropical fruit and flowers. Good walks, good bicycle paths, 
shady nook-, restful retreats, hammocks and swings under famous rubber trees. 

It is near the Inlet where most of the big fish are caught. The climate is more even and inviyorating 
than at any point in Florida. 

No tVosts, no chilling winds, no colds, no coughs, no asthma, no catarrh, no br-^ nchitis, no nuiiaria. 

The table is supplied with fiesh meats, poultry, fish and oysters, equal to any in the mirth^ vegetables 
fresh tVom the garden, milk from a selected dairy, berries all the season, oranges, bananas, pineapples, 
and gi.ipe tVuit in abundance. 

Hotel Hygeia was built this year by Dr. Munyon to accommrdate those who wish to escape the 
crush and inconveniences of large hotels. Every room has hot and cold water. There are plenty of 
private baths, also medicated and salt baths. Sun parlors are a feature of this house. 

To see the sun rise from this point is to witness nature put on her most extravagant morning gowns, 
and disport herself in all mannei of fantastic shapes, and brilliant colors. 

These morning panoramas are onlv equalled by the gorgeous and bewildering sunsets winch linger 
late into the twilight as though loath to lay aside her effulgent robes to don the sombre dress of dying day. 

Launches and sailboats run between the Island and Palm Beach every tew minutes. 

Mails received and deliveieii twice daily. Terms on applicat'on.

A PANORAMIC VIEW OF THE VfML'RI VALLEV. 

HIS is but one of the innumerable beautiful views that may be had of the Yumuri Valley. Admittedly the most 
magnificent scenery in an Island that is in itself a garden, this valley ranks well in the fore of the world's finest 
'andscapcs. The Bellamar Caves are nearby. Nothing outside indicates their presence. The visitor enters a small 
hut, guided by the cave-keeper, descends a stairway into a subterranean world and passes through a labyrinth of 
wonderful and brilliantly glistening formations of stalactite and stalagmite of every conceivable shape and size. He 
is led through seemingly interminable passages, with crystal mantles and pillars on either side. Some parts are low 
and narrow, while others open into magnificent halls.

churches, an increasing number of residences, and palatial hotels which are famous the 
world over and on whose registers are written the names of more than 50,000 guests every 
winter and spring. It is the fashionable winter resort of the United States. Visitors find 
every convenience and luxury. The town is renowned for its healthfulness ; the climate 
is equable and has given lease of life to thousands who have come hither from the 
North and West. 

SITUATED on a narrow strip of land running north and south, the town has in front (on the 
east) the Matanzas River or bay, and on the west the St. Sebastian River. Across the 
bay is Anastasia Island ; and beyond that — two miles distant — the ocean.

THE CITY GATEWAY is at the head of St. George street. 

THE PLAZA, or Park, is in the center of the town. 

THE SLAVE MARKET is a fiction. The old market house on the Plaza, commonly called 
The Slave Market, never was one. 

THE OLDEST HOUSE. No one knows which house in Sl Augustine is the oldest. 

HARBOR AND BEACHES. Small steam craft ply between wharves and beaches and other 
points, and may be chartered for excursions. A bridge crosses the Matanzas Bay to 
Anastasia Island, which is thus rendered accessible by foot, carriage or wheel. A railroad 
runs from the bridge to the lighthouse and to the sea beach, some miles beyond. The 
beach affords capital wheeling south to Matanzas Inlet. 

THE SEA-WALL was built by the United States Government in 1835-42. 

THE ST. FRANCIS BARRACKS are at the south end of the Sea-Wall.
